Welcome to the 506th Tablescape Thursday!
I had thought about putting this week's table out on the newly cleaned deck, but it was a bit too hot outside for that. It went from a cool morning where I had all the doors to the porch thrown wide open, to a toasty 86 degrees out on the porch later in the day.
I love it though, will take this any day over cold weather!
Once it … [Read more...]

Welcome to the 452nd Tablescape Thursday!
A couple of weeks ago I made a trip into Atlanta to do a bit of shopping. While there I stopped into the Lenox Square Pottery Barn where I saw these cute, shell napkin rings. I didn't buy them that day, but the more I thought about them, the more I knew I wanted to add them to my collection of napkin rings since I love setting beachy-nautical style tables on the … [Read more...]

Welcome to the 405th Tablescape Thursday!
I have to start off this week's Tablescape Thursday with an incredible find. You know this nautical, sailboat flatware you've seen me use so often in table settings?
I just found it available this morning for $26.99 for a 20-piece set!!! I know I paid way more than that when I purchased it several years ago. I think I paid $99. I've never seen it … [Read more...]

Welcome to the 402nd Tablescape Thursday!
Have you ever thrown a birthday gathering for a friend? Recently Toni put together a wonderful table to celebrate a friend's 70th milestone birthday. Toni's friend loves the beach and anything beach related so she kept that in mind as she decorated for the party. Toni said, "I decorated the dining room hutch and corner table with the remainder of my beach … [Read more...]

Welcome to the 360th Tablescape Thursday!
It was a gorgeous day out on the porch, we've been blessed with a lot of those lately!
Recently, Noritake sent six salad plates my way in a fun new pattern called Indigo Beach.
Before I even knew the name of the pattern, the design had me thinking of the deep blue sea.
The yellow-rimmed dinner plates are also by … [Read more...]

The 4th of July is tomorrow! Got any big plans? Hope you have the day off and will be spending it relaxing and celebrating with friends and family.
For this week's Tablescape Thursday, I put together a 4th of July tablescape with a nautical bent.
Inspiration for a table setting can come from the most unlikely places. After not buying any new … [Read more...]

It's been a while since I created a setting for two and a really long time since I put together a tablescape on this little oval table here on the porch.
You may remember the lantern from a previous beach themed table setting here: Beachy Tablescape With Lighthouse Lantern
Glassware for this table setting is from Pier 1. It's … [Read more...]

Welcome to the 290th Tablescape Thursday!
It's been in the 70's here for several days, I think it even got up into the 80's for a bit. Love, love, love the warm weather! All these warm days have me dreaming of the beach so it's time for a little beach table setting out on the porch.
This beach table setting celebrates the soft, cool shades of aqua, one of my favorite … [Read more...]

Time to break out the shell chargers! You knew I'd be using them this week after finally getting them all done.
This week's table setting turned out to be all about neutrals.
After all those hours (and sore fingertips) working on the shell chargers, I decided to take my cue from the colors in the shells/chargers for this week's … [Read more...]

Welcome to the 151st Tablescape Thursday!
Though the porch is still decorated in red, white and blue for it's 4th of July makeover, the heat here in Georgia has me dreaming of sandy white beaches.
Recently, I ran across these bright spring-green glasses in Old Time Pottery. I love this color green. I guess you could call it chartreuse.
It very much reminded me of the green color in … [Read more...]
